CURRENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

The Charitable Trust has received it's first bequest from the estate of the Eva Robinson. This distribution has been earmarked for rescue following her wishes.

A long time breeder and fancier that continues to make a positive difference even in her absence.

 

The Charitable Trust has received part of the estate distribution of Patricia Reneau.

Who is Patricia Reneau?

I wish I could give you plenty of information on her, but it is not available. Not anybody known by the Dane fancy, not a person attending Club meetings, shows or participating in any of the activities that identify all of us. She was just a person whose life was touched by Great Danes. During the 1970’s she adopted a Rescue Great Dane from the Great Dane Club of California, again in the 1980’s, she adopted a second Dane; both Brindles. She passed away towards the end of 2006 in Los Angeles, an elderly lady whose life was fulfilled by our beloved Breed.

Her last wishes have benefited the Charitable Trust; Patricia Reneau honored our Breed; we will honor her memory.
